🇵🇹🇦🇷🇪🇬 | El DT del Real Madrid, José Mourinho, humilló al fracasado musulmán Hossam Hassan luego de que acusara a Argentina de "robar" el partido: "Cuando pierdes un partido después de ir ganando 2-0, el primer análisis debería ser sobre tu propio equipo, no sobre conspiraciones. Como entrenador, debes mirar qué podrías haber hecho mejor antes de señalar con el dedo a otros".
"No me gustan este tipo de excusas. Decir que el torneo está diseñado para favorecer a un equipo o a un jugador desvía la atención del fútbol. Si crees que fuiste tratado injustamente, presenta los hechos. Si no, acepta el resultado y sigue adelante".
"El fútbol se decide por lo que ocurre en el campo. Si tu equipo no puede proteger una ventaja de dos goles, ahí es donde debería empezar la discusión. Los entrenadores deben asumir la responsabilidad, especialmente después de derrotas dolorosas. Eso forma parte del trabajo".
Rodrigo De Paul on Mohamed Ziko's comments after Argentina's win over Egypt:
🗣️ Reporter: ”What do you make of Mohamed Ziko's comments suggesting Argentina were helped by the officiating?”
🗣️ Rodrigo De Paul:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I find those comments surprising. On the pitch, he came over to me, praised the way we played, and said he admired the character we showed to come back from 2–0 down. Then, after the match, he gives a completely different interview. That doesn't really add up.
The truth is that it's always easier to blame referees than to accept defeat. Football is emotional, and after a painful loss people look for excuses instead of looking at what happened on the pitch.
We've been hearing these kinds of accusations ever since the last World Cup. At this point, it doesn't affect us anymore. We focus on playing football, respecting our opponents, and trusting the officials to do their job.
“Refereeing decisions sometimes go for you and sometimes against you. That's football. When things don't go our way, we don't spend our time talking about conspiracies,we keep playing, keep fighting, and stay united as a team. That's the only response we believe in.”
